August 20, 2015 Athletic Department Blog Updates

This is intended for all KHSAA member school Superintendents, Principals and Athletic Directors and the link can be forwarded as needed.

This reminder that the 2015 Annual Meeting of the membership of the KHSAA is to be held on Thursday, September 10 in the Bluegrass Ballroom on the third floor at the Lexington Center (High Street level,adjacent to the concourse of Rupp Arena). A final agenda will be published in the coming days, but the meeting is expected to begin at approximately 8:00 a.m. ET. and conclude not later than 1:30 p.m.

This specific meeting has continuous improvement/leadership training opportunities in the morning, a discussion period regarding proposals for rules changes, and a meeting where delegates convene to approve or disapprove the proposed KHSAA Constitution and Bylaw changes.

The Hyatt Regency, adjacent to the center, has a small block of rooms available for Wednesday night, September 9, by contacting 859-253-1234 and when transferred to the reservations office, refer to the KHSAA block of rooms (“KHSAA Athletic Meeting”) for the KHSAA block of rooms at $125 per night. Reservations at the Hyatt should be made by September 1, 2015 as the block will close at that time. Please be mindful that with other meetings in town that day, prompt room requests would be helpful in ensuring a room is available.

The staff and Board of Control again hope that 100% of the member schools plan on attending this important meeting. As always, professional development opportunities, relevant exhibitors and lively discussion of the future of high school athletics in our state will be just a few things that will highlight the day.

At this time, we need each school to formally designate the Delegate for your school to vote during the business session. The delegate must be someone from your school, but is not restricted to the Principal and/or Athletic Director or any specific academic or educational background.This important meeting allows your school a vote and voice in the operations of the Association. Please note that the delegate is simply the person who will be attending and voting, please do not confuse this with the Principal or Designated Representative as detailed in Bylaw 1.

The delegate designation and information can be submitted through this link, https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2015AnnualMeetingDelegates

Final information on the meeting, including proposals and informational seminar breakout descriptions, will be distributed electronically as in the past via the KHSAA website, http://khsaa.org/general/annual-meeting-information/
